  • I’m sure they will have ads in the Xbox launcher because why wouldn’t Microsoft.

    But it does look like it essentially kills all the graphical and backend items of windows for single loading this UI from the videos, and then boots up the extra items when requested for the full OS.
    I would actually be worried it won’t properly kill them swapping back and then you lose the gains until a reboot.

    I really want this to be a low margin device they sell meant to boost gamepads subscriptions and it ends up being easy to modify or control cause I would literally reward them with the subscription for that.
    If only they can resist being Microsoft.






  • None I think. I paid for all my streaming services that had these movies and shows and then have sourced everything else through originals or sources that were rentable.

    This is that whole issue with defining ownership with digital media. Movies were called the greatest financial invention of America because they only had to make a product once and could sell it forever.
    With digital media and technology increases we now have a much easier time owning our own copies.

    This is likely literally what NFTs hoped to fix to make set revenue of of each digital file and also why they failed because they are so easy to copy anyways.

    So, none, or an infinite amount, depending on if you ask me or a business major.







  • How do you even begin to care about anything in that game when you are basically mashing buttons for hours and just listening to people complain about how shit life is?

    I get its an art piece of living the existence you are thrown into but it feels like a confusing mess even gameplay wise for the starting hours that people that have finished it I feel miss how unfun it is at first.

    I didn’t even know why I was now stuck on the other side of a wall in a union dispute and I just couldn’t be bothered to restart the game to try something else after how long it took to get dressed the first time.

    So I think it’s actually really important that the games that would be considered objective masterpieces would have to overcome any language barriers and be an experience approachable by anyone. You can learn the mechanics to enjoy the gameplay without words
    So:

    • Portal
    • Journey
    • Binding of Isaac
    • Shadow of the Colossus
    • Metro 2033 (which I have sat on and I believe even if it was entirely in Russian you would still get it )
    • DOOM (original you don’t need words you shoot)
    • Super Mario Bros. 3
    • Katamari Damacy

    Then there are dialogue option stories that are fantastic stories that I could consider greats but shareable masterpieces is hard to say as they rely on you speaking the language both literally and then gameplay wise:

    • Stanley Parable
    • Outer Wilds
    • Tales From the Borderlands
    • To the Moon
    • Talos Principle
    • Golf Club Wasteland
    • Dead Space
